Becketwell in Derby will be the home of #GreatBritishRailways, which will bring track and train back together for a better railway for our customers and taxpayers.
A modern national centre of excellence in a city at the heart of railway heritage ...

🌬️ #StormAusten is coming!
Live near the railway? Make sure you tie down objects like trampolines and garden furniture.
These can easily blow onto the tracks and block train services. ❌

Our rail infrastructure is very busy, which can mean difficult choices about services and opportunities. 🚉
The proposed Access and Use Policy sets out a framework to help make those choices transparently and consistently:

This new industry-wide role will help shape a customer-first railway:

What’s the alternative to closing a busy railway for 60 weekends for essential work?
Doing as much vital maintenance as possible in just three weeks.

Did you know Severn Bridge Junction in Shrewsbury is the largest working mechanical signal box in the world?
It still has its original 180 levers inside, all dating from 1903:

💧 💪 We're waterproofing and strengthening four underground tunnels on the #Merseyrail network this October and November.
We'll also modernise power control systems across the Northern and Wirral lines.

ALT A Merseyrail train is stationary at a well-lit underground platform with "Kirkby" displayed on its front. Passengers are waiting beside the train, and an electronic sign provides information about upcoming departures. The station features tiled walls and a yellow tactile safety line near the train tracks.
🎥 Across the railway, drones, sensors and smart CCTV are helping us identify and catch trespassers faster than ever.
Step onto the tracks and you could face a fine, arrest or even a criminal record:

Introducing the new home of Great British Railways, Becketwell in Derby.
The brand new development will be the heart of GBR and marks a major step as we bring our railways back into public control.
Here’s everything you need to know about what a publicly owned railway means for you 🚆
🍃 We're getting into autumn and 22% of leaves have fallen from trees already! 🍂
We're using a dedicated fleet to tackle leaves on the line.

🤳 Reels blaring from the seat behind?
📢 A video call on speaker that the whole carriage didn't ask to join?
'Loudcasting' on public transport has become a daily annoyance for many passengers.
Share the carriage, not the noise:

More done … less disruption.
We made the most of three weeks of work between Waterloo East to London Charing Cross this summer, avoiding affecting train services for 60 weekends.
For better journeys.
In collaboration with @Se_Railway
🏢 Major milestones on our journey to Great British Railways.
🎁 Most of the railway to stay open as usual over Christmas.
⛈️ And our Wales and Borders route installs brand-new weather stations in time for autumn weather.
It's another #WeekOnTheNetwork
A year ago today we unveiled the railway's new clock - 200 years after the first modern passenger train ran in Britain. ⏰
It features numerals from Rail Alphabet 2, adapted to make the time easy to read from across a crowded station:

🎉 Happy birthday Robert Stephenson!
🌉 The Royal Border Bridge, Berwick.
🌉 The High Level Bridge, Newcastle.
🌉 The Britannia Bridge, Anglesey.
Just a few of the reasons George Stephenson's son is an #engineering legend in his own right:
